 Originally by: bellass
the basic point of the op is still valid and one that caldari/missle ships always try to blow away with off-topic arguments.
point being that a missile ship can move as fast as it wants with no damage penalty on target. range is not an issue for missile flight time in the normal battle range of 30-40 km, well out side close optimal dmg range of short turrets. turrets need to work there guns and consider both their own and targets movement to get partial dmg. missile boats are fire, forget and then just focus on flying ship to stay out of harms way at great range.
You are 100% correct in EVERYTHING you said, however I don't agree with the basic argument you are making. Using a ship that can sling a heavy missile VERY far in a close range fight is just entirely STUPID on the pilot's part. As such, setting up this ship to fly as quickly as possible in order to maximize it's range advantage is entirely smart. At the end of the day, that cerb at 80k+ isn't going to kill you unless you're silly enough to sit around and wait for it to happen. It's not like this uber fast cerb is going to annihilate you without giving you any options to counter it. For example - use long range guns to reach out and hit it, get into a faster ship, load defender missiles etc.

What people miss with missiles is that damage reduction is calculated on the enemy side, as in their speed itself reduces the missile damage. And there's also the fact that a ship moving away at 3k m/s will cut the cerb's range to much less than half - hybrids/lasers/autos have ammo that stikes immediately. If you're w/in optimal, you know the ammo will at least make contact, and do so before it warps away.
Its no fun to shoot at something that disapears before your ammo reaches it...

OP, are you the same troll that lives under the bridge in the Three Billy Goats story I read to my kids? If not, maybe you could at least post your "nerf the nano-this-that-or-the-other" threads under some alts? |

Everytime I try to go 3km/s in a cerberus, some ishtar going 3.5km/sec comes up to me, webs me, then roasts me alive.
Or a vagabond tails me at 3km/sec and shoves EMP up where the sun don't shine.
Or a sacrilege going 3.2km/sec comes and gnaws away at me while laughing at my heavy missiles.
Or...you get the point?
